the 1 x PCIe 2.0 x4 slot will be blocked but the board comes with the onboard SupremeFX Impact II so you shouldn't need an audio card. and i wouldn't do sli with this board because the second card (at least one the size of a 780 gtx or larger) will have zero airflow and the temps will be very high. http://oi59.tinypic.com/10y2b82.jpg

Hi Brandon, Mine is an AMD board so it's Crossfire. Not sure if it was an Intel board if it would be SLI.

I dont see why it wouldnt wok with that board.It wont improve anything in your game except the sound.Its actually a really decent card.

It will work just a few things to keep in mindNo SLI on this motherboard and no PCIe 3.0

It does support 7.1 audio, it does support the Asus GTX660-DC2O-2GD5, and it only supports DDR3 1600/1333/1066. I hope that helps.

Yes this i have a gtx 780 on this motherboard works like it should no sli only crossfire

This should work fine, yeah. Your board supports ATI Crossfire (I'm not sure about nVidia SLI) so if you ever want to go multi-card, you might not be able to do so with this board. If you're going to stick with single card, though, this should be fine.

I am able to play everything I have on high settings with the installed card. I think there is an extra power supply for those cards that need it, but you would have to check the other motherboard specs to make sure it would be compatible.

As long as they are the same series and have the same amount of VRAM they will SLI perfectly. I would recommend putting the card with the highest clock speed in first/top PCIe slot.

I have not tried that so I do not know for sure. But if that is your main use for the soundcard, you'd better off with Asus Xonar U3 as the internal DAC of this card is not used then.

Also, the 750's are not SLI compatible. So regardless of which motherboard is being used you will be unable to SLI any of the 750 style GPU's

It does not have an SLI bridge and therefore multi-card setups are not supported. Need a 650Ti or better.

No. This motherboard doesn't need a sound card. Why pay so much if it didn't have quality sound lol

Kip answered already, also, be sure to get lots of RAM and a couple of top notch NVIDIA video cards for SLI (Scalable Link Interface)- then it's a gaming MoBo :-)I maxed mine out with 64 G of RAM

Yes it supports both crossfire and sli. It's extremely quite too, can't even hear it at full load
